​

About the Role

You'll inherit and grow their highest-performing territory nationally - stretching from East of the Hume Hwy in Melbourne Metro out to the NSW border. Key accounts in territory include Australian Paper, AGL Loy Yang, BlueScope Hastings, numerous quarries and mine sites, and more. Significant time will be spent in the Morwell / Traralgon area, where most of these accounts are based.

As Sales Engineer, you'll build strong relationships and collaborate with client-side engineers (e.g. Maintenance Engineers, etc.), becoming their go-to provider for critical equipment repairs, rapid breakdown response and wear prevention & restoration solutions.

Between the growth of existing accounts and untapped opportunities, there's realistic scope to double territory revenues in 2-3 years.

About You

To be a strong fit for this position, you'll bring:

Ideally, 3+ years' Technical Sales experience in a similar field - e.g. repairs and hardfacing; wear parts for mobile and fixed plant equipment; heavy duty pumps and rotary valve repair; etc.

3+ years unrelated Technical Sales experience calling into Eastern VIC-based target markets (e.g. pulp & paper, mining, cement, steel, mineral processing, wood processing, etc.) will also be strongly considered.

A relevant Engineering background and/or previous welding, fitter turner experience is advantageous but not required.

Intangibly, you're accountable, self-motivated and professional - an autonomous operator but enthusiastic team player with a strong drive to succeed. You're hungry to maximise Eastern-VIC sales opportunities whilst contributing to a positive company culture.

On offer, a competitive base salary package with company car and uncapped commissions - with 1.5% paid on all sales, an additional $45K-$75K+ p/year in commissions is realistic based on forecasted growth across the territory.
